By default your personal TIP Supervisor when you join the program is the TIP Supervisor who invited you. However you may be reassigned to either of the other TIP Supervisors at any time during your TIP membership.
If you want to personally request to be Supervised by a particular TIP Supervisor (Xnicola or Skullcandy88), please let us know.
When one of the TIP Supervisors is unavailable for some time, the other will temporarily step in.
